Added a "master" volume for the entire audio subsystem.
Also, added a "presentation" volume for both the master volume and for
each invidiaul source. The presentation volume is used to control
things like transitioning volumes, preventing sources from outputting
any audio when they're inactive, as well as some other uses in the
future.
If audio was under, it originally did a full reset of the audio timing.
However, resetting the audio timing when this happens is kind of a bad
thing. It's better just to clamp the value to the expected timestamp to
ensure seamless audio output.
Also, implement audio timestamp smoothing to ensure audio tries to be as
seamless as possible.
I actually did compile that last commit and misread the failed projects
as 0. I'm just going to put the conversion stuff in video-io.h stuff
because it requires it anyway, and video-scaler.h already depends on
video-io.h for the video_format enum anyway.
Add a scaler interface (defaults to swscale), and if a separate output
wants to use a different scale or format than the default output format,
allow a scaler instance to be created automatically for that output,
which will then receive the new scaled output.
If there are for example more than one audio outputs and they have
different sample rates or channels and such, this will allow automatic
conversion of that audio to the request formats/channels/rates (but only
if requested).
- Changed glMapBuffer to glMapBufferRange to allow invalidation. Using
just glMapBuffer alone was causing some unacceptable stalls.
- Changed dynamic buffers from GL_DYNAMIC_WRITE to GL_STREAM_WRITE
because I had misunderstood the OpenGL specification
- Added _OPENGL and _D3D11 builtin preprocessor macros to effects to
allow special processing if needed
- Added fmod support to shaders (NOTE: D3D and GL do not function
identically with negative numbers when using this. Positive numbers
however function identically)
- Created a planar conversion shader that converts from packed YUV to
planar 420 right on the GPU without any CPU processing. Reduces
required GPU download size to approximately 37.5% of its normal rate
as well. GPU usage down by 10 entire percentage points despite the
extra required pass.
There were a *lot* of warnings, managed to remove most of them.
Also, put warning flags before C_FLAGS and CXX_FLAGS, rather than after,
as -Wall -Wextra was overwriting flags that came before it.
Originally, the rendering system was designed to only display sources
and such, but I realized there would be a flaw; if you wanted to render
the main viewport in a custom way, or maybe even the entire application
as a graphics-based front end, you wouldn't have been able to do that.
Displays have now been separated in to viewports and displays. A
viewport is used to store and draw sources, a display is used to handle
draw callbacks. You can even use displays without using viewports to
draw custom render displays containing graphics calls if you wish, but
usually they would be used in combination with source viewports at
least.
This requires a tiny bit more work to create simple source displays, but
in the end its worth it for the added flexibility and options it brings.
The API used to be designed in such a way to where it would expect
exports for each individual source/output/encoder/etc. You would export
functions for each and it would automatically load those functions based
on a specific naming scheme from the module.
The idea behind this was that I wanted to limit the usage of structures
in the API so only functions could be used. It was an interesting idea
in theory, but this idea turned out to be flawed in a number of ways:
1.) Requiring exports to create sources/outputs/encoders/etc meant that
you could not create them by any other means, which meant that
things like faruton's .net plugin would become difficult.
2.) Export function declarations could not be checked, therefore if you
created a function with the wrong parameters and parameter types,
the compiler wouldn't know how to check for that.
3.) Required overly complex load functions in libobs just to handle it.
It makes much more sense to just have a load function that you call
manually. Complexity is the bane of all good programs.
4.) It required that you have functions of specific names, which looked
and felt somewhat unsightly.
So, to fix these issues, I replaced it with a more commonly used API
scheme, seen commonly in places like kernels and typical C libraries
with abstraction. You simply create a structure that contains the
callback definitions, and you pass it to a function to register that
definition (such as obs_register_source), which you call in the
obs_module_load of the module.
It will also automatically check the structure size and ensure that it
only loads the required values if the structure happened to add new
values in an API change.
The "main" source file for each module must include obs-module.h, and
must use OBS_DECLARE_MODULE() within that source file.
Also, started writing some doxygen documentation in to the main library
headers. Will add more detailed documentation as I go.
The signature detection code when reading UTF-8 files was causing the
UTF-8 strings read from file to allocate more data than they were
supposed to, causing the last 3 bytes to be garbage
- Fill in the rest of the FFmpeg test output code for testing so it
actually properly outputs data.
- Improve the main video subsystem to be a bit more optimal and
automatically output I420 or NV12 if needed.
- Fix audio subsystem insertation and byte calculation. Now it will
seamlessly insert new audio data in to the audio stream based upon
its timestamp value. (Be extremely cautious when using floating
point calculations for important things like this, and always round
your values and check your values)
- Use 32 byte alignment in case of future optimizations and export a
function to get the current alignment.
- Make os_sleepto_ns return true if slept, false if the time has
already been passed before the call.
- Fix sinewave output so that it actually properly calculates a middle
C sinewave.
- Change the use of row_bytes to linesize (also makes it a bit more
consistent with FFmpeg's naming as well)
- Add planar audio support. FFmpeg and libav use planar audio for many
encoders, so it was somewhat necessary to add support in libobs
itself.
- Improve/adjust FFmpeg test output plugin. The exports were somewhat
messed up (making me rethink how exports should be done). Not yet
functional; it handles video properly, but it still does not handle
audio properly.
- Improve planar video code. The planar video code was not properly
accounting for row sizes for each plane. Specifying row sizes for
each plane has now been added. This will also make it more compatible
with FFmpeg/libav.
- Fixed a bug where callbacks wouldn't create properly in audio-io and
video-io code.
- Implement 'blogva' function to allow for va_list usage with libobs
logging.
- Implement texture scaling/conversion/downloading for the main view so
we can finally start getting data to output.
Also, redesign how it works a bit, it will now properly wait one full
frame for each step in the process: rendering the main texture,
scaling the main texture to an output texture, staging/downloading the
ouput texture, and then outputting that staged data. This way, the
GPU will have more than enough time to fully complete each step.
- Fix a bug with OpenGL plugin's texture staging function. Was using
glBindBuffer instead of what should have been used: glBindTexture.
- Change the naming scheme of the variables in default.effect. It's now
named with the idea of just "color matrix" in mind instead of "yuv
matrix", and instead of DrawRGBToYUV, it's now just DrawMatrix.
- Implemented better C++ classes for handling scenes/sources/items in
obs.hpp, allowing them to automatically increment and decrement the
references of each, as well as assign them to QVariants.
- Because QVariants are now using the C++ classes, remove the pointer
QVariant wrapper.
- Use the new C++ classes with the QVariant user data of list box items,
both for the sake of thread safety and to ensure that the data
referenced is not freed until removed. NOTE: still might need some
testing.
- Implemented a source-remove signal from libobs, and start using that
signal instead of the source-destroy signal for signalling item
removal.
- Add property list callbacks to sources/outputs/encoders so that if
necessary user interface can be automatically generated or perhaps a
property list widget can be used for them.
- Change some of the property API names. obs_property_list_t felt a bit
awkward when actually using it, so I just renamed it to
obs_properties_t.
- Removed the getdata/setdata nad getparam/setparam functions from
sources/services, they will be superseded by the dynamic procedure
call API.
Implement a properties definition interface to allow modules to export
general properties associated with objects of libobs.
The properties definition interface allows the option for automatic
settings UI generation (which will make simple plugins easier to develop
without the need for user interface), as well as allow real-time
property editing of values of things like sources/outputs/etc without
having to open property dialogs. More property types can be added in
the future as needed as well.
Reduce and simplify the UI export interface. Having to export functions
with designated names was a bit silly for this case, it makes more sense
for inputs/outputs/etc because they have more functions associated with
them, but in this case the callback can be retrieved simply through the
enumeration exports. Makes it a bit easier and a little less awkward
for this situation.
Also, changed the exports and names to be a bit more consistent,
labelling them both as either "modal" or "modeless", and changed the UI
function calls to obs_exec_ui and obs_create_ui to imply modal/modeless
functionality a bit more.
I realized that I had intended modeless UI to be usable by plugins, but
it had been pointed out to me that modeless really needs to return a
pointer/handle to the user interface object that was created.
